Sebastian is one of the characters that appears in Overlord. He didn't have many scenes in the first season, but he has appeared more in the second season. This time, I would like to focus on the charms of Sebastian and introduce him.
What exactly is Sebastian?

Sebastian is an NPC created by Touch Me, one of the Supreme 41, who was ranked third in strength in Yggdrasil. He exists on the 9th and 10th floors, and is the highest-ranking official who takes care of the Supreme 41 together with the head maid. He is also the commander of the maids, the Pleiades. Although he is not technically a guardian, his strength and abilities are equal to those of a guardian.
A cool and sophisticated Sebastian

The first thing that makes Sebastian attractive is his appearance. He has the air of a 50-60 year old man, and is a very cool and sophisticated man. His silver hair and neatly trimmed silver beard suit him very well. He's also tall and well-built, so he doesn't look like an old man. With that build, he looks cool in his butler uniform. It's definitely something we aspire to grow old like.
Sebastian is the perfect butler

He is the person in charge of taking care of the personal needs of the 41 Supreme Beings, he is naturally highly skilled as a butler. When infiltrating the kingdom, he pretends to be the butler of his subordinate maid Solution, disguising her as the young lady. His speech, attitude, and mannerisms towards the young lady are all befitting of a first-class butler. This is not limited to those of a higher rank, but also applies to store clerks and passers-by. Isn't Sebastian, who is the perfect butler, very charming?
Sebastian is actually a strong dragon-man

Sebastian usually has a human appearance, but his original form is a dragon. Sebastian in his dragon form has not been drawn yet, but when Sebastian gets emotional, his eyes sometimes shine red, which is hard to believe for a human. I don't know if this is part of a dragon, but it's clear that he is not human. He has shown the strength to defeat an adamantite-class adventurer in one hit, but in human form he is holding back, and when he goes full dragon form he is stronger than his guardians Cocytus and Albedo. However, it is thought that he can only hold back the strong ones who reach the 9th floor.
Sebastian's sense of justice is the strongest of the guardians!?

The people in Nazarick are basically depicted as evil from the human perspective, but Sebastian is an unusual being who has a very strong sense of justice and hates evil. This is thought to be heavily influenced by his creator, Touch Me, and since Touch Me also had a strong sense of justice, it is thought that Sebastian also became like that. Unlike the other guardians who only see humans as trash, Sebas values humans and feels a duty to protect the weak. Sebas' sense of justice is cool, as he willingly helps a boy he doesn't know who is being treated badly.
Sebastian's panic is also a highlight!!

Sebastian, who has a strong sense of justice, helped Tsuare, who had been treated cruelly and was abandoned in danger of losing her life, free of charge. Sebastian did not report this to Ainz, so he was suspected of being a traitor who would harm Nazarick and was reported to Solution. When Ainz confronts him about this, we see Sebastian become shaken and sweaty for the first time. Even the usually calm Sebastian becomes flustered when confronted by Ainz, one of the 41 Supreme Beings.
Sebastian is cool even when arguing

Sebastian has a strong sense of justice and a strong sense of duty to protect the weak, so he argued with Demiurge, who thinks humans are worse than insects and is nonchalant about treating them badly, about the future of Tsuare. Just like Demiurge, Sebastian is cool because he doesn't use foul language and fights like a gentleman. Ainz, who was watching this, was in high spirits as he sensed a resemblance to the players from the Yggdrasil era. He forced them to calm down, though.
Sebastian gets embarrassed after being kissed

Sebastian, who had helped Tsuare and treated her kindly, developed feelings for her. When Tsuare decided to abandon the human world and go to Nazarick with Sebastian, he suddenly kissed her. Sebastian's surprise at this is a highlight. No matter how strong Sebastian is, he would be surprised if a woman suddenly kissed him. After this, Demiurge teases him, saying, "Your face is red."
Sebastian is a very gentlemanly man towards women

Sebastian gently speaks to Tsuare, who is crying in despair after being treated inhumanely. The words that touched me the most were, "An unused handkerchief is a pitiful thing. Especially a handkerchief that cannot be used to wipe away tears." If someone said something like that, it's inevitable that you would fall in love. To Tsuare, who had been treated cruelly and without hope up until that point, Sebastian may have seemed like a god. Only Sebastian could say such a line.
Sebastian's voice actor is Shigeru Chiba

The voice actor who plays Sebastian is Shigeru Chiba. He is a veteran with a voice quality that suits the role of a very mature uncle character. This is nothing short of a nice casting. Notable appearances include Yu Yu Hakusho (Kuwabara Kazuma) and Magical Girl Wars (Ebizou). Although he doesn't often play leading roles, he has appeared in so many anime and productions as a supporting voice actor that anyone would recognize his voice when they hear it. After all, voice acting isn't just about playing leading roles.

This time, we introduced the charms of Sebastian from Overlord. Although Sebastian doesn't appear much, I'm sure there are many people who like him for his appearance and gentlemanly behavior. I'm very curious to see what will happen with Tsuare from now on! I hope to see him continue to play an active role in the future. That's all for now. Thank you for reading.
